Disarming the Security System

To disarm the system, press and release the
your PIN to unlock your doors into the keyless entry keypad (your PIN must be
entered within 10 seconds to prevent the alarm from sounding). The parking lights will
flash once, indicating that the system is disarmed. If you unlock the doors a second
time within 5 seconds, the horn will chirp once to indicate the security system has
disarmed.

System Operation

When the Security System is Armed:

• All interior entry points are monitored for unauthorized entry;
• The Interior Theft Sensor monitors for impact to the vehicles body or glass;
• The system status indicator flashes once every four seconds.
If any monitored entry pointed is opened or hard impact is detected, the system will
activate an alarm cycle. During the alarm cycle:
• The horn sounds in a random pattern;
• Siren sounds (optional accessory);
• The parking lights flash;
• The system status indicator begins to flash rapidly.
The alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds. At the end of the 30 second cycle, the system
will pause for 10 seconds and then begin monitoring for any further alarm conditions.
If another alarm condition is detected the system will go in to another alarm cycle. The
system will trip up to 5 times for each different alarm condition (i.e. door open or hard
impact to the vehicle body)
The Status Indicator

vehicle dashboard. This red light gives a visual indication of the alarm system's state
of operation. Note the chart below:
